Just seen this on the net !!

 

 

Edward I of England comes to Scotland to conquer the Scots.

He brings 4,000 men with him. As he nears the battlefield,

There suddenly appears a solitary figure on the crest of the hill. A short, ginger-haired guy in a kilt.

'Come up here, ya English bastards, and I'll give ye a hammerin'!'

Edward turns to his commander. 'Send 20 men to deal with that little Scottish upstart, he says.
The commander sends twenty of his best men over the hill to kill the scotsman

Ten minutes later, at the crest of the hill, the little Scot appears again.
'Ya English diddies!' he yells.'Come on the rest of ye!! Come on, I'll take ye all on!'

Edward is getting somewhat annoyed. He turns to his commander. 'Send 100 men to kill that little shite!'
The commander sends 100 men Over the hill to do the job.

Ten minutes later, the little Scot appears at the top of the hill once more, his hair all sticking up, his shirt a wee bit torn.

'Ya English SCUM!' he yells. 'I'm just warming up!! Come and get me, Ya English shites !!'
Edward losses patience. 'Commander, take 400 men and personally wipe that little bastard off the face of the earth!' he yells.

The commander gulps, but leads four Hundred men on horseback over the crest of the hill.

Ten minutes later, the little Scotsman is back.
His clothing is all torn, his face is covered in blood, Snot and Irn-Bru.

'Is that the best ye can do??? You're bloody WUMMIN!!! Come on!! Come and have a go, ya bunch of English Shites!!!' he yells.

Edward turns to his second in command. 'Take 1,000 men over that hill and don't come back till you've killed that little red haired bastard!' he commands.
The second in command gathers the men and they ride off over the hill to their fate.
Ten minutes later, one of the English troops appears back at the top of the hill. covered in blood, his clothes all torn off his back. 'Your Majesty!' he yells.
'It's a trap!!!

There's fuckin two of them!!!

Your daughter twatting the intruder round the loaf with her mug - Good on her.

She is fearless and takes shit from no-one.  His good fortune that she didn't have anything more substantial to hand, or got hold of him.

She has felled some huge blokes that have messed with her.

Wonder if our collective shite could be put to work to earn money, just like this particular hire scheme?

This courier company is excellent!

Screenshot_20181013-103902~01.jpg

I wish I'd used autoshite couriers , sent 2 16kg boxes of books to a guy in poole via ups, he's not in so they deliver to the parcel shop a mile away for him to collect , I get a message from him , elderly ,can't carry heavy boxes , nowhere to park so I arrange for ups to re deliver

 

This is happening today , or so I thought , with it only being a mile I'd assumed they'd just pick them up and drop them off

 

I get a message, waited in all day, no boxes, not happy

 

So, it's turned into a clusterfuck , they've put them back in the system for delivery tomorrow

 

Guess what , he's out tomorrow so they're likely to go back to the fucking parcel shop

[Snipes]

Shouldn't he be the one arranging when he can receive the boxes?

[DSdriver]

Talking of boxes, I went to get the Saab estate out of the storage barn today. Found I was boxed in

Literally

Amused by a mate who told me of the text he sent to his (ex now ) wife.

Clearly, my Facebook knows I love browsing the Low Cost High Liability thread as it’s just suggested this snapped L200 and a Quattroporte in rapid succession

Took the dogs out to the park today, as usual, but, today I took Ron (the owner of the little Collie pup, though now not so little at 5 months - all legs!) as his hip is going and the wait for a new one is... lengthy. Besse got in the back of the merc with Phoebe and Chester, Phoebe said: ' Oy you, get out of MY car you tedious little shit-bag!' and Besse departed like her arse was on fire!  But we made it to Daddyhole without bloodshed and three dogs departed the car in rapid succession and proceeded to do various things: Phoebe hobbled along with bally in mush (actually walking - badly, but walking   ) Chester went for a poo and Besse decided that annoying the living daylights out of Chester was a pursuit worth, err... pursuing!

 

Phoebe did almost half a walk which is a vast improvement and made me very happy indeed and played with bally and was generally just a happy mutt Chester wandered about, doing his own thing but with the added hindrance of a 5-month-old collie hanging off his ears/face/tail. She loves him SO much Loads of other dogs there as well and so Besse got to meet a load of strange mutts and was off her lead the entire time (a first), met a dog called 'Meggy' who is a tiny Jack Russel thing, ball mad and spent 30 minutes just thundering about chasing Meg as she chased the ball.

 

But the thing that really made me grin was, Chester. While he grumbled and complained bitterly about Besse being on his case, he must have secretly really liked it as when she went off chasing other dogs and their balls, Chester got bored. So bored that he pinched another dogs ball and ran (yes, actually raised his speed from 'plod' to 'ramming speed' and even chased the ball a distance of nearly 10 feet! He never, EVER plays with balls, he never runs after balls, he definitely never runs unless there is food or, well food to be gained!

 

It seems that this 3 dog daily mission may be a regular thing until Ron gets his new hip, could be fun....

One of these cars has been parked for a bit longer than the others.

Looks like the van from Rosemary & Thyme, they must be chasing a murderer again.

Are they sending those tax letters out now? I owe this year but I've received nothing in writing from them or the tax credit people and they were both done months ago...I'm letting sleeping dogs lie at the moment and don't want to disturb them with a phone call.

Spotted on the way in to way to work around 10.50am, a white BX possible diesel flavour, possible J reg. Looked very tidy apart from a small bit of rust on the front N/S wheel arch. Location: A10 roundabout just before J25/M25. Was possibly heading to Cheshunt or the other bit of the M25 towards Essex.

rather amusingly as I clicked on the show last unread post button for the computershite thread my adblock chrome extension shat it self, and autoshite doesn't even serve adverts!  

 

 

(of all the websites and threads it could of shat it self on, it really picked the most apt LOL)

[SiC]

Also don't use adblock plus - use uOrigin instead.

 

Many reasons why. Some here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/4b8qzc/why_have_people_stopped_recommending_adblock_plus/

 

TL;DR the original developers sold out.

[LightBulbFun]

You need OneTab extension.

 

*strokes all 122 tabs lovingly* 

 

on a more serious note, im pretty happy with my current setup, I already have a small extension that puts all my tabs into a list should I need em in such format (said extension also serves as my tab counter), but I actually do throughout a day use/browse all of my open tabs so something like OneTab wouldent work very well for me

 

(before the recent chrome UI change my main limit on tabs was that after so many tabs for a given window size, the favicons would vanish and I use the favicons to keep track of all my tabs, luckily for me chromes recent update changes this behaviour so the favicons just shrink in size allowing me to open even more tabs)

 

but thanks for the suggestion

 

sadly the internet is my only connection to the outside world these days (esp on a day to day basis) I practically live on the internet LOL and as such I do lot of stuff on the internet hence the massive amount of tabs its one of the reasons I want to get a driving licence and a car so I can finally go out and about some without utterly crippling myself hopefully...

thanks for the heads up, I was aware of them selling out but its interesting to see that uOrigin may run better

 

I may give it a spin at some point
